These two texts are jam-packed with writing activities for a student-
centered writing course. Simply put, students learn to write by writing,
and these books by David and Peggy Kehe keep the students
focused on improving their writing from the first to the last minute of
the class hour.
* Each volume includes three different kinds of activities.
Rhetorical Modes. The students follow a careful sequence of steps
from preparing the first draft to writing the final essay.
Intermediate Modes Advanced Modes
Description Process
Narration Cause and Effect
Exposition Extended Definition
Comparison and Contrast Argumentation
Fluency Writing. In pairs and triads, the students exchange information
on a contemporary topic. They finish the activity by summarizing in
writing what they have talked about.
Grammar Problems and Terminology. In this section, the students
review those pesky grammar problems that always show up in the
process of putting thoughts into grammatically accurate sentences.
Pre-college and college.

The purpose of this book and its companion volume is to help ESL
students at the pre-college, community college, and college level
meet the requirements of academic and professional writing. There is
sufficient material in the two books for two semesters of work.
The texts are the source material for implementing a course in which
teachers have ample time to work individually with students. As the
term "student-centered" in the sub-title implies, the students spend
most of their class time at work on their writing skills. They learn to
develop the skills of writing by writing, not listening to the teacher, or
reading long explanations.
There are three sections in each of the two books. Each section
features a different aspect of writing skills development. The sections
are Rhetorical Modes, Fluency Writing, and Grammar.
Rhetorical Modes are the focus of the first and basic section of each
book. Most writing skills texts focus on these modes. Those covered
in the two books are:
Intermediate Modes Advanced Modes
Description Process
Narration Cause and Effect
Exposition Extended Definition
Comparison and Contrast Argumentation
The Fluency Writing section engages the students in a structured
alternative to free writing or journal writing. Each activity involves
pairs or triads of students in cooperative speaking, listening, and
reading work with an article about real-world topics. In the final step
of each activity, the students write paragraphs with the details of the
article without looking at it. This requires them to make active use of
the new vocabulary and sentence styles they have just worked with.
The Grammar section is a series of activities that focus on
grammatical terminology and grammatical problems typically
encountered by intermediate and advanced level students as they
develop their skill in accurate and proficient compositions. There are
two types of activities - one type involves the students working
individually on a grammar problem. The other involves groups of
three students working together on the problem.
The three sections can be used in a variety of ways, but a
recommended procedure is to use the Rhetorical Modes section as
the basis, proceeding step-by-step through the eight modes. The
Fluency Writing is done at any time during the course when there is a
natural break during the work on the Rhetorical Modes. The Grammar
activities can also be done at any time when it is apparent that it is
needed, although there are suggestions throughout the Rhetorical
Modes section for using these activities.
Used together, the three sections of the book provide challenge and
variety to the students while allowing the teacher time to work one-
on-one with the students.
